After missing practice on Wednesday, Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (shoulder) was upgraded to a limited participant on Thursday, according to ESPN's Courtney Cronin. Moore hurt his shoulder in the second half of last week's win over the New York Giants, but he was able to return and should be fine to play in Week 11 on the road against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings this Sunday. Although Moore has been the team's second leading receiver through 10 weeks behind second-year wideout Rome Odunze, he's been pretty unreliable for fantasy purposes and has only one receiving touchdown on the year. Through nine games, Moore has 30 catches on 48 targets for 403 yards and one TD through the air. He also has a TD on the ground and has thrown a TD pass. The 28-year-old has a matchup to exploit this weekend in New York, but he's been a low-volume, low-ceiling WR4/flex in fantasy.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) was limited in practice on Thursday, but he said he's "just sore" and still considers himself in the "ramp-up stage" of his return from a torn ACL he suffered in last year's regular-season finale, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. When asked if he expects to play on Sunday against the New York Giants, Watson said, "Oh yeah." The 26-year-old former second-rounder in 2022 made his season debut in Week 8 and has caught eight of his 12 targets for 188 yards and no touchdowns in his first three games. He started by playing only 56% of the offensive snaps in Week 8, but he has slowly seen more action and saw an 82% snap share in the Monday night loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Watson is a bit of a boom/bust fantasy asset, but he's averaging a healthy 23.5 yards per catch as a big-play guy, and he could certainly boom this weekend against the G-Men.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (ankle) upgraded to a limited practice on Thursday, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN. Odunze has been dealing with an ankle injury since late October and hasn't been taking part in practices on Wednesdays. Now that the 23-year-old second-year wideout is back at practice on Thursday, he will most likely upgrade to full on Friday and be cleared to play in a Week 11 contest on the road against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. In the season-opening loss to Minnesota back on Sept. 8, Odunze caught six of his nine targets for 37 yards and his first touchdown of the year. He went on a four-game touchdown drought before returning to the end zone in last Sunday's win over the Giants, catching six of his 10 targets for 86 yards. Outside of a donut against the Bengals in Week 9, Odunze has been the Bears' most consistent WR, and he leads the team in catches (37), targets (69), receiving yards (559), and touchdowns (six).

Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle (quadriceps) was seen warming up at the portion of practice open to the media, so it looks like he will return to practice on Thursday, according to Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer. Just like last week, Dowdle did not practice on Wednesday before returning to the field the following day. The 27-year-old has been managing a quad issue, but it hasn't kept him from playing and serving as Carolina's unquestioned lead back. He will likely be limited on Thursday, but as long as he upgrades to full on Friday (like he did last week), he should be good to go for Sunday's divisional game against the hosting Atlanta Falcons. Dowdle has been the RB10 this year in half-PPR scoring with 788 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 149 carries while also adding 18 catches for 142 yards and a score. He's a must-start in fantasy if he's active in Week 11.

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Thursday that kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) has been ruled out for the Week 11 divisional game on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, according to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. Fairbairn injured his quad in the Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos and will now miss a second straight game. The Texans have a quick turnaround next week with a game on Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills, so it's possible the 31-year-old veteran won't be ready for that one, either. Matthew Wright filled in for Fairbairn in the Week 10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars and made his only field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try in the 36-29 victory. The 29-year-old should be in store for a better day in a cushy matchup against the Titans this weekend, but at best, he's a deep-league streaming option at the kicking position in fantasy.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (illness) returned to practice Thursday after missing Wednesday's session due to illness. London is in the middle of another big season as the Falcons' top receiving target. London's 53 receptions for 691 yards and six touchdowns lead the team, and highlight an offense built around explosive playmakers at each position. The Falcons face off against the Carolina Panthers in Week 11. In their last meeting, the defense held London to just five catches for 55 yards in one of his toughest matchups of the season. Look for quarterback Michael Penix to target him early and keep him involved this week.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) has officially been ruled out for the team's Week 11 matchup with the Tennessee Titans. Stroud suffered the injury when sliding in a Week 9 matchup with the Denver Broncos. Davis Mills will once again lead the offense as they face off with a Titans team they defeated 26-0 earlier this season. Mills leaned heavily on Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz (shoulder) last week, but Schultz could be in danger of missing this weekend's game, as he has yet to practice this week. Another name to watch in Week 11 is rookie Jayden Higgins, who hauled in five receptions for 42 yards and a touchdown last week.

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills is likely to start again as C.J. Stroud (concussion) remains out of practice in concussion protocol. Mills was dynamic in the win over the Jaguars last week, completing 60% of his passes for 292 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Mills leaned heavily on Nico Collins (15 targets) and Dalton Schultz (11 targets) in the passing game. Head coach DeMeco Ryans clearly trusts Mills to make plays, which has been rewarded early. For teams in need of bye week help, Mills is an excellent option on the waiver wire heading into Week 11.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (knee) was not seen at practice during the media portion of the session on Thursday. With the team facing the first place Denver Broncos, the Chiefs may be forced to rely on 30-year-old back Kareem Hunt to carry the load if Pacheco remains unavailable. Hunt has flashed his talent this season with 82 touches for 357 yards, and a team-high six touchdowns. Hunt is a popular add for fantasy teams heading into Week 11, and should be considered a must start if Pacheco sits.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) failed to practice on Thursday, putting his availability in doubt when the team faces the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Bateman has appeared in every game for the Ravens this season, logging 16 receptions for 194 yards and two touchdowns. With Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews leading the team, Bateman has taken a backseat this season. The 25-year-old has recorded just two games of over 50 receiving yards, making him a shaky start even when healthy. Bateman's absence could leave even more opportunities for the team's top receiving options, and could give DeAndre Hopkins an increased snap share as well.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) was not present at practice on Thursday, putting his status for Sunday's tilt with the Philadelphia Eagles in question. The 24-year-old has hauled in 40 receptions for 489 yards and three touchdowns this season. If LaPorta is unable to go on Sunday, third-stringer Ross Dwelley could be called upon to fill in with Brock Wright (ankle) also missing practice time. Dwelley has just one target on the season, meaning quarterback Jared Goff will likely lean on the ground game, and wide receivers Jameson Williams and Amon-Ra St. Brown if LaPorta is unavailable. Continue to watch reports over the next two days ahead of the matchup.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) remains absent from practice heading into a difficult Week 11 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kincaid has been quarterback Josh Allen's primary weapon when healthy, but the team is at risk of being without their tight end for the second time this season. Dalton Knox remains an option for tight-end-needy teams heading into the weekend. With Kincaid continuing to trend in the wrong direction, Knox should be rostered in all formats heading into a likely high-scoring matchup.

From RotoBaller

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) was back at practice Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. Jackson has returned to his dominant form after missing three starts due to injury. The Ravens quarterback will face the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. The former MVP torched the Browns in their previous matchup with 225 yards passing and four touchdowns. Expect another big game for Jackson with the team riding a three-game win streak. Mark Andrews and Zay Flowers should be considered must-start options as well with Jackson in the lineup.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (ankle) was seen at practice for the second straight day on Thursday, according to Dani Sureck of AZCardinals.com. Knight was listed as a limited participant in the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday after injuring his ankle in the Week 10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. The 24-year-old may need a full practice this week to avoid a questionable tag going into the weekend, but as of right now, two practices suggest he has a chance to be active this Sunday versus the San Francisco 49ers. Since the team's bye in Week 8, Knight and Emari Demercado have been splitting most of Arizona's backfield touches, with Demercado being the more productive back. Knight hasn't scored since Week 6 and has averaged just 3.4 yards per carry on 33 rushing attempts in his three "starts." If he's active against San Fran, fantasy managers should consider him a low-upside RB3/flex option.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (shoulder) is missing a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. With two DNPs to begin the week, Schultz is firmly up in the air to play this weekend against the division-rival Tennessee Titans. It's pretty disappointing for any fantasy managers who picked up the 29-year-old after he had seven receptions on a season-high 11 targets for 53 yards and his first touchdown of 2025 in last week's spirited comeback win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The good news, though, is that Schultz missed two practices back in Week 9 with knee and shoulder injuries before returning to practice on Friday and playing that Sunday. Schultz may need a full practice this Friday to be cleared to play on Sunday. Harrison Bryant (neck, shoulder) is also banged up, and Cade Stover (foot) is still on IR, so Houston's TE corps could be dangerously thin if Schultz cannot play this Sunday.

Green Bay Packers rookie first-round wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder) is practicing again on Thursday, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky. Golden was listed as limited for the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday, and head coach Matt LaFleur said early in the week that the team would ease the 22-year-old back onto the field after a shoulder injury kept him from playing in Monday night's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. LaFleur also said that the rookie was really close to playing on Monday, which makes it sound like Golden has a pretty good chance of playing in Week 11 versus the New York Giants. The 23rd overall pick back in April out of Texas has plenty of long-term upside, but he's failed to stand out in Green Bay's crowded WR room in his first eight NFL games, catching 23 passes for 262 yards and no touchdowns.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) appears to be ramping up his rehab, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. Reed is still on Injured Reserve, but he was "working up a sweat" on a side field during Thursday's practice. The Packers have yet to open up Reed's 21-day practice window, but that might not be far off. The 25-year-old former second-rounder is rehabbing from a broken collarbone and a fracture in his foot that has kept him sidelined since Week 2. Despite the long layoff, Reed should become a big part of Green Bay's offense when he's back in the fold. Early in his career, he's proven to have a nose for the end zone, scoring 18 touchdowns (15 receiving, three rushing) in his 35 games (24 starts). The Packers have a crowded wideout room, but Reed, who is currently rostered in 35% of Yahoo leagues, deserves to be stashed in fantasy with his return looming.

The New York Jets acquired wide receiver Adonai Mitchell from the Indianapolis Colts at last week's trade deadline in the big deal that sent star cornerback Sauce Gardner to Indy. Mitchell did not make his debut with the Jets in their Week 10 win over the Cleveland Browns, but he should be active on Thursday night when the team takes on the division-rival New England Patriots in primetime. The Jets' passing attack has been the worst in the NFL through 10 weeks, so expectations must be tempered, but there's no denying that the 23-year-old former second-rounder has a big opportunity coming his way. Garrett Wilson (knee) could be heading to Injured Reserve, and Josh Reynolds (hip) is already on IR. In addition to Mitchell, the Jets are looking to the likes of John Metchie III, Tyler Johnson, Arian Smith, and Isaiah Williams to step up. Mitchell is arguably the best athlete of the bunch, making him a watch candidate in fantasy leagues as he prepares to make his Jets debut.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle, ribs) remained in a non-contact jersey during Thursday's practice and is dealing with multiple injuries, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. It's not great news for Buffalo's top receiver, but the good news is that he has been limited on back-to-back days and has a chance to play this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Still, the 25-year-old's status is up in the air, and he could be limited in what he does in Week 11 if he ends up playing. Shakir's injury, in addition to tight end Dalton Kincaid's (hamstring), could make Keon Coleman a much more intriguing flex play this weekend. Coleman has mostly disappointed in his second NFL season, but he did have three catches on eight targets for 46 yards and his third TD of the year last Sunday. His eight targets were the most he's seen since the season opener.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) was not seen on the practice field on Thursday, according to DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN. Stroud suffered a concussion early in the Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos and was not active in last Sunday's comeback victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 24-year-old is still in the league's concussion protocol and hasn't practiced this week, so all signs are pointing to him missing a second straight game this weekend against the division-rival Tennessee Titans. Stroud was still experiencing some concussion symptoms earlier this week. With a short week coming up next in Week 12 on Thursday Night Football versus the Buffalo Bills, it's possible Stroud could be looking at missing three straight games. Backup Davis Mills surprisingly threw for almost 300 yards against the Jags, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to need to attempt 45 passes against Tennessee.
